Aston Villa vs Arsenal
Stalemate!
A very decisive game for Arsenal after the dramatic Wolverhampton loss. If Arsenal wants to have a chance for European leagues they really have to take this one home. The Lions are just one point ahead of Arsenal and there are 3 teams lurking behind Arsenal for their spot. They have lost 1-3 to West Ham but who could blame them? So the same goes on for Aston Villa, if they will fight for a qualifying position, they should start winning these big games. Both teams will play for a win, Aston Villa does better with scoring than Arsenal and I don’t think they will revoke Luiz’ red card ban, it is expected that we might see some goals in this game. If the both teams do their best, its going to be a draw at best. 1-1 or 2-2.

Manchester United vs Everton
One step closer?
After the shock home defeat against Sheffield and the Arsenal draw, Man Utd must ride the wave of the glorious 9-0 victory and win this game then they can enjoy the nice Sunday on their couch watching Man City and Liverpool eating each other out. Everton proved to be one of the toughest teams of the league but they struggle to win against teams up from their standing. Narrow win for Manchester United.

Liverpool vs Manchester City
Anfield stronghold has seen some stain on its badge after Brighton and Burnley losses, their contenders have already called its record into question. On the other side, the record-breaking clean sheet run Man City is going for and the injuries Liverpool has been facing should really ring the bells Klopp this Sunday. I fear the Brighton loss will be what it was signalling all along. With the outstanding performance of Ilkay Gundogan, Liverpool wont be able to break the defensive line I can imagine another clean sheet and a win and that will be the goodbye title for Liverpool this year.

Aston Villa
Aston Villa is currently ranked 9th, and as long as they score another 3 points, they can be equal to the total points last season, which shows that they have made great progress. Although their performance is still lacking in stability, but there have been some wonderful games where they beat the strong teams before.
Arsenal
Arsenal's state this season is very mediocre. Although there had been a period of rebound before, but they have fallen into a downturn again recently. They lost to Wolves in a 1-2 away game in the last round, and they have not win 2 consecutive games. Center back Louis received a red card and gave a penalty kick, which was a huge blow to them.
Verdict:
Arsenal is certainly much higher than the opponent in terms of fame, but judging from the rankings, the gap between the two teams has been constantly narrowing. The Asian handicap live odd is Aston Villa-0, seems no clearly support to both side. Aston Villa should at least keep 1 point in this game.

Liverpool vs Manchester City Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Kabak, Fabinho, Robertson; Thiago Alcantara, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Manchester City:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Cancelo; Bernardo, Rodri, Gundogan; Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus, Sterling
The reigning champions Liverpool host the actual leaders Manchester City in a derby of the round. Usually the home advantage was a key factor in this clash. Manchester City have won just once in their last 29 league visits. That solitary triumph came in May 2003, 17 years ago. But the last home results of Liverpool are catastrophic. Anfield, also known as fortress in the last few seasons, became Liverpool weak point. The 68-game unbeaten run at Anfield now looks like a distant memory. The problems started in late December against mediocre West Bromwich. Everything looks "normal" when Sadio Mane scored in the first half, however the guests managed to equalize in the second. The next three home matches were awful. The draw with Manchester United could somehow be swallowed, but the defeats to Burnley and Brighton are unacceptable. The Reds are now in danger to lose three home league games in a row for the first time since 1963. Scoring at home become the biggest problem, although Salah, Firmino and Mane are all known as "scoring machines". Nevertheless, they are still yet to find the back of the net at Anfield in 2021 - a run of 348 minutes without a goal. Klopp has lot of injury worries ahead of the derby. All three recognized centre-backs - Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip - are out injured. The new acquisition Ozan Kabak, who came from Schalke, could make his debut after getting international clearance. Ben Davies, who came from Preston, is also available. Diogo Jota remains out injured, while goalkeeper Alisson Becker should start after recovering from illness. Fabinho, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita are rated as doubtful.
Manchester City are the leaders on the table with 47 points. The Citizens are in excellent form, they have won nine in a row in the Premier League. Guardiola will be looking to continue the successful series against the biggest rivals in the last few seasons, Liverpool. City didn't started the season according to the expectations, but managed to improved in the last period. Pep Guardiola's men beat Southampton, Newcastle, Chelsea, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, West Browich, Sheffield United and Burnley in the Premier League. Three of these victories were narrow, while on eight of them goalkeeper kept clean sheet. At least one was controversial, against Aston Villa. The Premier League officials admitted first goal was clear offside. Nevertheless, most of the victories were well-deserved. City were also successful in the League Cup, beating Arsenal in the quarter-finals and Manchester United in the semi-finals and secured the final. The Citizens are going well in the FA Cup too. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is high. Pep has some issues ahead of this match. Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne will both miss the match due to fitness issues, while Nathan Ake is out injured. Raheem Sterling is expected to start against his former club in more relaxed conditions as there will be no fans at the stadium. He needs just one more goal to reach 100 under Pep Guardiola - a tally that only two players have managed before - Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero. Some changes in the starting eleven are likely. Kyle Walker, Phil Foden, Benjamin Mendy and Ferran Torres were reserves against Burnley and they are fresh.
Liverpool vs Manchester City Prediction:
As I wrote above, Manchester City have won just once in their last 29 league visits to Anfield. But now is an ideal opportunity, Liverpool are poor like never before. The Reds failed to score a single goal on the last three home matches. They lost twice in the process, from relegation-candidates WBA and Brighton. Manchester City, meanwhile, are in excellent form. The Citizens won 9 in a row and I expect the 10th victory here.
